Chapter 12, Problem 122QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the fact that the flour of whole grains produces spikes in blood while whole grains would not be is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The equilibrium rate is highly affected by the change in temperature, change in concentration of reactants and products.

For a change in the concentration of reactants and products, the equilibrium will shift in a direction which will compensate for the effect.

The surface area is directly proportional to the reaction rate.
